Happy Friday and more coral!

August 10, 2012

Exciting things are happening around here, that’s for sure!  I’m so sad to be so very far away from all the action as Lily and company set up shop, a “real” shop.  Yeah!  I wish them all the very best and I will make sure it is one of my stops when we visit home.  I’ve got news of my own although it’s not nearly as exciting.  With our recent major life change, I feel like I need to really dive into the experience and make myself available to the opportunity that lies in wait for me here in Florida.  So, in order to do that, I’ll be taking a break from blogging for awhile.  I’m not exactly sure for how long at the moment but at least long enough for me to feel like my feet are more firmly planted here on the ground.  It’s been a fantastic couple years with Lily and I definitely miss having her only 4 minutes down the road but our paths have changed and we now need to go with the flow.

I’ll finish up with a couple posts next week and then I’m off on my own adventures. Thank you so much for stopping by to read what’s inspiring us and for leaving us encouraging comments, some of you almost daily.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Awww, I am very sad to read this :( Though I don’t know you in person, I’ve come to love the ying/yang of both yours and Lily’s posts. As I have a move coming up for our family (and not even to another country!) I am so out of sorts and I can only imagine how much change you are dealing with. Good luck with your new adventures and I hope to see you back here soon! AND I am still pining to see more pictures of your new home as you get it all set-up :)

Dear Sweet Rachel…

You are so sweet to let us know about your news.
Your presence will truly be missed.
As you are in such a peachy keen kinda area I know you will have great adventures, and look forward to hearing about them sometime!
We are so excited for Lily’s new development and desire for you much success also.
You have been so instrumental in putting Abbotsford “on the map” in the vintage & venue arena that I just need to say “thanks” for this!

Our greatest JOY for you and yours, and our deepest WARM wishes for the roads ahead!

Sincerely,
Colleen Shelley & the Vintage Home Team!
